Smart Water Monitoring in Murrieta, CA
Stop leaks before they turn into floods. DH Plumbing installs smart water monitors, leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves in Murrieta homes, with alerts sent straight to your phone.
Quick Tip
Put a leak sensor on the floor beside your water heater, behind the washing machine and under each sink. Those are common spots for slow leaks to start without anyone noticing.
What Is Smart Water Monitoring, and Is It Worth It?
Smart water monitoring is a system that watches the water flowing into your home and alerts your phone, or shuts the water off automatically, when it detects a leak. DH Plumbing installs these systems in Murrieta, CA, and quotes every job upfront. Call or text 760-586-8893 to get started.
Most setups combine three parts: a monitor or smart valve on the main water line, small battery leak sensors near appliances, and a phone app. Many systems learn your normal water use and flag anything unusual.
An automatic shutoff valve is the piece that turns an alert into protection. If a supply line bursts while you are at work, the valve can close on its own before water spreads through the house.
We help you choose the right system, install it on your main line and set up the app with you before we leave, so you know exactly how it works.
Leak Protection for Spencer’s Crossing, Bear Creek and Beyond
Many Murrieta homes sit on concrete slabs, where a hidden leak can run quietly for weeks. A flow monitor notices that constant trickle long before you see a stain or a high water bill.
Smart monitoring is a great fit for commuters on the I-15 and I-215 corridor, families who travel in summer and anyone with an upstairs laundry room. We install it in newer two-story homes in Spencer’s Crossing as well as established homes in Bear Creek and Murrieta Hot Springs.
Hard water is tough on valves, hoses and fittings over time. That is one more reason to have a sensor watching the water heater and washer in homes across 92562 and 92563.

Smart Water FAQs
Smart water systems are new to most homeowners, so we get a lot of good questions. Here are the ones Murrieta families ask us most often.
How does a smart water monitor work?
A smart water monitor measures the water flowing through your main line and learns your household’s normal use. When it sees something unusual, such as water running nonstop, it sends an alert to your phone. Models with a built-in valve can also shut the water off automatically.
Can I shut off my water from my phone?
Yes, if your system includes a smart shutoff valve. The app lets you close the main water valve from anywhere, which is handy if a leak alert comes in while you are at work or traveling. Sensor-only systems alert you but cannot stop the water.
Where should leak sensors go in a Murrieta home?
Put leak sensors where leaks are most likely: next to the water heater, behind the washing machine, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, near the dishwasher and beside the refrigerator ice-maker line. Many Murrieta water heaters sit in the garage, so that floor is a key spot.
Will smart water monitoring lower my water bill?
Smart water monitoring can lower your bill by catching waste you would never notice, such as a running toilet or a slow slab leak. The app also shows where your water goes, which makes it easier to cut back during hot, dry Murrieta summers.
How long does smart water monitor installation take?
Most smart water monitor installations are finished in a single visit. The time depends on the system and how easy your main water line is to reach. We install the valve or monitor, place the sensors and set up the app with you before we leave.
Do I need a plumber to install a smart shutoff valve?
Yes, a smart shutoff valve is cut into your main water line, so a licensed plumber should install it. A poor install can leak or restrict flow. Clamp-on monitors and stand-alone sensors are simpler, but we still help place them where they will do the most good.
Does smart water monitoring work during a power outage?
It depends on the system. Battery leak sensors keep sensing during an outage, and some valves have battery backup, but alerts need Wi-Fi to reach your phone. We explain how your specific system behaves without power so you know what to expect.
